summons, the student drops his books and hastens toward
the place of worship. As he enters the auditorium, it is
filled with bustle and chatter. But as the chimes cease
their music and the big organ pipes commence to vibrate,
the din is hushed and comparative silence reigns. The in¬
terior architecture of the building, the tones of the organ,
now thrilling, now quieting, 'the singing of the choir, the
well-chosen program of service, all unite to make Vespers
a part of college life which students enjoy and appre¬
ciate, and which graduates look back to with longing.
It is good that this is so, and in order that it may
continue, Vespers should be kept a reverent, meditative,
religious service, in which all may join in a worshipful
attitude. That such an attitude is not always present is
undoubtedly true. Some irreverence, some jocularity,
some impatience, is inevitable when attendance is
required, and no amount of exhorting, persuading, and
reproving can hope 'to prevent it entirely. The remedy
of the difficulty lies in finding and removing its cause.
It is quite possible that man is, as Sabatier has said,

When such independence is taken from him either

Shelvey '23, Describes Trip Across

In a recent letter to President
Moody, Cyril Shelvey ’23, who is
teaching in the Brent School, Eaguio

and of his experiences in Japan at the
time of the earthquake disaster. Por¬

What is the purpose of the attendance requirement?
What is desired? A person's bodily presence alone? Is
religion a matter of sitting in a pew at a certain hour of
